The operation of the communications flags is outlined below.
• The Communications Port Enabled Flag is reset to 0 when communica-
tions are in progress and set to 1 when communications are completed
(normally or not).
• The status of the Communications Port Error Flag is maintained until the
next time that data is transmitted or received.
• The Communications Port Error Flag will be reset to 0 the next time that
data is transmitted or received, even if there was an error in the previous
operation.

There are 8 logical communications ports provided, so 8 communications
instructions can be executed simultaneously. Only one instruction can be exe-
cuted at a time for each communications port. Exclusive control must be used
when more than 8 instructions are executed.
These 8 communications port numbers are shared by the network instructions
(SEND(090), RECV(098), and CMND(490)), the serial communications
instructions (TXDU(256) and RXDU(255)), and the PROTOCOL MACRO
instruction (PMCR(260)). Be sure not to specify the same port number on two
instructions at the same time.
